MONTEVETRANO | Campania

Table 35

“CORE” CAMPANIA BIANCO IGT Core (pronounced Kor-Ay) is local dialect for “heart,” and the label (once again designed by the daughter of proprietress Silvia Imparato) evokes the love of life, and wine that is the spirit of Montevetrano. Core Bianco is sourced from Greco and Fiano vines in the area of San Cipriani Picentino, outside Salerno. A blend of 50% Fiano and 50% Greco, Core Bianco undergoes a cool fermentation in steel followed by a brief rest in tank. The wine is fleshy in texture and its aromas are defined by white flowers and ripe stone fruit— particularly pear. The tasting experience is underscored by a vivid minerality.
